More about this scene

The parish church of St Mary is built of local cobbles, with a fine tower that was rebuilt in 1688 using 13th-century materials. The remains of the original Norman church can be seen in the north arcade of the nave, where the capitals to the piers have a scalloped decoration. The Royalist chaplain to Prince Rupert was rector in 1629-31, followed much later by William Cole, the Cambridgeshire antiquary, from 1768.
